funk 10

For the entirety of their existence, First Touch have been at the forefront of modern funk music. The Germany-based group was a major component in the first wave of boogie revivalism which began in the 2000's. Their eponymous debut album would become legendary among synth funk aficionados who were seeking to hear new artists working with 1980's-era blueprints of analog keyboards & heavy hand claps. First Touch has remained active ever since, with releases on many of the prime modern funk labels in the game. Now they can add Sleepers to that list with a 7" which includes two new songs. "Changes" is classic First Touch - Drum tracks that could've been lifted from any song in regular rotation at Paradise Garage, rubbery synth bass lines and leads, and unlike many of their fellow modern funksters, a willingness to place non-synth instruments prominently into their production via warm piano chords & horn stabs. "Chron" falls more into electro territory, and as such adds new dimensions to the First Touch sound.

As always, Sleepers brings you these two tracks in physical form via limited edition color vinyl 7" - only 150 copies pressed!

Ivan Makvel - The Popping Bull

Funk producer Andrew Napoleon offers his own take on this modern funk masterpiece from Ivan Makvel and Temu. After falling in love with the track when it was released on Ivan’s album ‘A Family Affair’, the UK based producer reached out to the pair to offer a remix in his own style. The result is an 80’s-funk inspired slice of pure groove indulgence. The kind of track you would play if you were driving back to the 80’s at sunset…Vice city style! The Kashif-inspired bassline and Stevie Wonder-esque synths provide the perfect backdrop for Temu’s mesmerizing vocal harmonies.

BIO
Andrew Napoleon is a funk and RnB producer from the UK. A multi-instrumentalist and former touring session guitarist, he transitioned from live bands to music production around 2009. His early work was a hybrid of nu-disco and electro funk, influenced by the 80’s funk and soul that Andrew was raised on.

His work caught the eye of Kool & The Gang’s record label in 2011, who signed Andrew’s production duo for an album release. Andrew had the honour of being invited to remix a version of Kool & The Gang’s classic track ‘Misled’ for an upcoming re-release.
Over the next few years he dedicated himself to his craft, learning more about the art of music production. Studying directly with mentors such as legendary mixing engineer Max Heyes (Jamiroquai, Massive Attack, Primal Scream), he further developed his prowess as a producer, songwriter and mix engineer.

Andrew founded his own company Green Light Music in 2019, a boutique music production company working with independent artists all over the world. To date, Andrew has produced and written songs for more than 50 independent artists in over 20 countries. 

In 2021, Andrew was signed by Washington D.C label Return Records as an in-house producer. Owned by The Orchard/Sony ATV, the label brought Andrew’s funk inspired productions to a wider audience. He teamed up with label artist Diquan Julius on several tracks, and their track ‘Let’s Dance’ won several awards including ’Best Funk Song’ at the 2022 Wammie Awards.

The label signing was significant, as he was the only producer employed who represented the modern funk/disco sound.

In 2022 he teamed up with Mishell Ivon and the duo released their first joint EP. The single ‘U Got Me Good’ received a glowing reception from the funk community, landing on Spotify editorials and national TV ad campaigns. Andrew already has several exciting releases lined up for 2023, both as a producer and his artist project with Mishell Ivon.
